Default bilstein b16 coils advice/help

Hi there peeps just need some advice. Im looking at a used set of the billies of a bugeye to fit onto my p1. I'm thinking of buying them and I know that I will need to change the rear top mounts but which top mounts will I need and where can I get them from? Also will I need anything else? I havnt got the funds to buy new hence why im looking at the used set. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.
